(Nanowerk News) For decades, scientists have been studying a group of unusual materials called multiferroics that could be useful for a range of applications including computer memory, chemical ...

University College London provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation UK. Attosecond science, the laser-led study of what happens to matter over very short timescales, could lead to ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the layered multiferroic material nickel iodide (NiI2) may be the best candidate yet for devices such as magnetic computer memory that are extremely fast and compact ...

When researchers irradiate a thin layer of nickel iodide with an ultrafast laser pulse, corkscrew-shaped features called “chiral helical magnetoelectric oscillations” arise. These features could be ...
